Colts' training camp position preview: Quarterback

The Indianapolis Colts are like some of the teams in the NFL that aren’t quite sure what their quarterback position will look like when they take the field for the first week of the season.

Fortunately for the Colts, this isn’t a matter of finding the right signal-caller. They just simply have to make sure franchise quarterback Andrew Luck follows his rehab program to return.

The quarterback position for the Colts is actually a fairly stable unit, even with Luck still working his way back onto the field.

Here’s a look at the projected depth chart entering training camp:

Andrew Luck

Jacoby Brissett

Phillip Walker

Brad Kaaya

When healthy, Luck is the starter. There is no debating that but the Colts do feel confident in the offense if backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett has to step in for some snaps.

With Luck out the entire 2017 season, Brissett stepped in a started 15 games for the Colts, doing his best to lead an entire unit while also learning the offense as the season progressed.

The Colts feel confident about having Brissett as a backup in case any complications arise with Luck’s shoulder.

Behind the top two, Walker and Kaaya will battle it out for the third spot while the other likely would be delegated to the practice squad. That’s if the Colts carry three quarterbacks.

Bottom line: Despite the uncertainty of when Luck will return fully, the Colts have remained confident he will at some point. There is solid depth with Brissett as the backup but the Colts are expecting their franchise guy to return in 2018.
